hem around with some legs? I don't see an existing one or one that could be made in order to do that.

Going from 500k -> 1.5 million is not a small improvement.

Yes, RRoD played a lot in giving the 360 a very negative preception in Japan. As far as style of game, they have to find their own evergreen to really push sales because it'll be almost impossible to solely use a few JRPGs to keep a higher sustained level of sales. 

You can't say they didn't try with that evergreen... they nabbed a MonHun MMO. Still, didn't help. It's not THEIR own exactly, but it's still a nice choice of game. Otherwise - if they didn't figure it out so far, then perhaps they just don't have any ideas aside from making some 2nd party JRPG's and buying 3rd party exclusivity.

Considering the amount of effort they presented Japan with during the first few years, a million more is still nothing. After all - they didn't try with the XB at all. And it got them nowhere in the end, anyway.

Whaaaaaa. A MonHun MMO was never going to sell in big numbers (and it still cracked 100k which is good). That's not an evergreen at all. If they released a new, proper MonHun, it would have done super well (MonHun will sell on any platform as evident by the awful MMO still selling) on any platform.

It's not really about one million more, but tripling their userbase despite only caring about the region for the first 30-40% of its life there. There's a glass half full/half empty argument here.
